The LDs could do a lot worse than Luciana. Intelligent, articulate, not obviously bat shit crazy.KentRising said:

I do hope Luciana wins. 🤞rcs1000 said:
The LDs have surged in Remainiac London but, as I forecast, have fallen just short almost everywhere. The only wildcard (which I admit I didn't forecast) is Finchley & Golders Green, which I assumed would be a comfortable Tory hold, but is apparently extremely close.nunu2 said:

You are holding the SNP to an unrealistic benchmark though, it's clearly a stunning result for them. Independence isn't going back in the box anytime soon.HYUFD said:0 -

ITV coverage is winning hands down for me. George and Ed superb. Other guests top qualuty too. Less spinning and more analysis than on BBC and Sky. Would like them to spend a bit more time on the numbers, but that's just me.1

Do Labour not think this "the evil Tories, what about the homeless yadda yadda yadda"...basically you are telling voters you were wrong, you are heartless for voting for the other team.
I think a lot of hard working Northeners will be sitting there, going what about me you Southern tw@t. I work hard and I want to Leave the EU, and all I get from you is I'm a thick racist.5 -

In 1997 many more people had memories of the 1970s. That's why it took someone like Blair to seal the deal. I'd say 2017 was the perfect storm for Corbyn and McDonnell.speedy2 said:
